Oddly enough he smirked at her statement that he was nothing like what was expected of Liberty, evidently taking it as a compliment. The logic under the surface was that the Liberty that masqueraded as a House was not the same Liberty the Xenos believed it. Their vision for the ideology and even the state was a direct antithesis across a multitude of regards. And ultimately this resulted in the greatest of poetic ironies, making the Xenos technically foreign or alien in their own Home. They were simply too different from the status quo.

"Good, because the typical Liberty and I are different breeds." Despite this clarification that he appreciated the statement, he didn't comment on the fact that she was different too, he felt it was unnecessary because his answer was a precedent. And if said precedent was carried forward, then the impact of the statement being a compliment went both ways. It was like chess but with words, a nuance that would likely go entirely over somebody's head.
